Hike in the Tortolita Mountains near Marana. Play golf at Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain - where the WGC match play is held. Good cave tours southeast of Tuscon.

Kartchner Caverns


Really cool caves about 45 minutes south of Tucson


Also Tombstone is kinda cool to visit as well.

Biosphere 2 is somewhere near Tucson as well


The resorts in Tucson I hear are nice. The city itself if you live there.....kinda sucks (I lived there for 3 months).

Drive up Mt Lemmon as well.....really pretty and can go hiking there.

Found it fascinating. I found it a great lesson in Theory vs. Applied Theory.

Mount Lemmon
Pima Air and Space Museum (very cool)
Tombstone is OK but not sure if it's worth the drive
Bisbee is only about 20 mins east of Tombstone but it's a pretty eclectic old mining town

If you really want to take the drive, Bisbee is an absolutely cool little town. You can do a mine tour there, but the town is really neat. Its tucked away in a mountain valley, and with this very old west town kind of look to it. Its become a bit hipster-ish but it is cool, with some good bars and stuff. About an hour and a half or so from Tuscon.

Yeah if you are going to do Tombstone, definitely do Bisbee. Bisbee is a lot better than Tombstone (which I found to be a little lame and Disney-ish).

Yeah, check these out. They might still be using their summer rates which are really cheap. I stayed at the Omni in July and paid $100/night for a 900 square foot room.

I've never been. Just always see the commercials for it. U of A is teamed up with it....I think.
